I've recently switched back from Linux Mint to Windows 10, but I'm running into an issue. Whenever I try to boot from the ISO file, I get an error message that says, "A media driver for your computer is missing. This could be a DVD, USB, or Hard Disk driver. If you have a CD, DVD, or USB flash drive with the driver on it, please insert it now." I'm unsure how to proceed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! By the way, I'm using a Lenovo Yoga 7 Slim Pro 14IHU5.

Also, keep in mind that Windows 10 is reaching end of life soon, so it might be better to upgrade to Windows 11. However, regarding that error, it's not actually about the download itself but rather the installation process. To fix it, go to your Lenovo support page and download the Intel RST/AHCI pre-install driver. You need to load that during setup for things to work smoothly.
You might want to use the Windows Media Creation Tool to create a bootable USB. It handles the drivers better during installation. Unfortunately, I know you're on Linux, but there are ways to run the tool using Wine if you're really stuck! Just be sure to properly format your USB before trying to write the ISO to it.
I can't run the Media Creation Tool from Linux, is there an alternative method I can use?
I tried downloading the drivers but it didn't work. Any other suggestions?
